Peaches & Cream, Hair Magazine - five days, five ways

We’re always looking to push the boundaries here at Cream - it’s why we love doing national magazine shoots like this one. Here’s our latest project for HAIR and Beauty Magazine. Our Artistic Director Dean Brindley and stylist Hannah Evans spent the day in London creating these gorgeous looks for a five days, five ways feature. First up, using Schwarzkopf Professional’s brilliant products, they created a chic French braid before moving on to a head of natural curls. Then it was time for this undone, plaited up-do, some stunning rippled waves and finally, a beach-kissed, salt spray look. Dean and Hannah had a terrific day with make-up artist Karen Lockyer and photographer Roberto Aguilar.

Cheltenham stylist Lorna Sales was so moved by the plight of London’s homeless that she travelled to the capital to cut rough-sleepers’ hair as part of a charity project. There she met Pummi the Homeless Barber who, when he was on the streets, learned to cut hair by watching barbers through shop windows. Lorna was impressed with his work, and that of charity worker Chris Hill, and she now regularly brings her guerrilla hairdressing to Trinity Church in Cheltenham, giving dignity to the town’s homeless.

Alex - who has worked with the likes of Alexander McQueen and Diane von Furstenberg - launched his eponymous label in 2014 and is now stocked by luxury stores across the world. Dean and Scott spent hours prepping models backstage for the runway show, which featured large, bold, simple prints, heavy fabrics and lots of exaggerated pocketing.
